      9 times. can suggest me a method by which we can take 30fps (images per sec) using camera in xamarin or to process video real time for cv(openCv [cv:computer vision]) similar to object detection

    • @lemoncrazedcamel
      @lemoncrazedcamel 3 роки тому +1

      The reason I am trying to do wpf style navigation is because we have a few wpf apps that follow strict mvvm so we should be able to transplant them into xf without much of a struggle. However they use a master view model for navigation purposes

    Would love to see a video about the Expander and how to incorporate a Parent-Child relationship in the same ViewModel. Maybe a bit too much to ask, but I can only visualise it for "Summary-Details" type scenarios in a single Parent model. I would love to understand the best method of "lazy loading" the children once the expander is clicked in a nutshell. Thanks for all your videos btw, extremely simple and helpful on my learning journey.

    Hello Gerald, Good job. I'm working on a to-do app to help me get familiar with xamarin forms. I've gathered some knowledge concerning the mvvm pattern and I tried to implement the snackbar in xct but it looks like it uses code behind. I'll like to know if it's possible to use the snackbar in mvvm?

    • @jfversluis
      @jfversluis  3 роки тому

      Good question! I haven't used the SnackBar much, but we should definitely make it as MVVM friendly as possible. Maybe it would be a good idea to open a discussion for that on our repository? github.com/xamarin/XamarinCommunityToolkit/discussions
      Then we can have a look what is supported today and how we can improve :)

    I can't use the toolkit in my project as in India we just have the 4.8 version, and they have removed Expander from here. Now if I install the toolkit plugin it will not allow me to do so as it supports only xamarin.forms 5.0 so what is the meaning of breaking working things without providing proper support to existing things?

    • @jfversluis
      @jfversluis  3 роки тому

      I’m not sure I understand. 4.8 still has the expander and you can keep using it. 5.0 does not have the expander and you can install the Toolkit which offers the exact same functionality

    Hey there, I really very much like your content, and your style, too. Keep up the good work! One suggestion though: Show the interesting stuff right in the beginning, namely what we can get on our screens when using the Community Toolkit. That's what everybody is here for in the end, right?! WHAT am I able to do with it, and only then do I want to know HOW to do it.
    It's incredibly hard to follow along all the technical aspects (like the folder structure of the Sample Application) as long as one doesn't see anything. This drives me so mad everytime in all kinds of presentations. My brain doesn't stop anticipating what everything might look like and I just CAN'T focus on details as long as I don't see anything. Following along becomes increasingly painful.
    Take game reviews, e.g. The commentary speaks while everything he speaks about is being shown in the video. They jump right into action - no need to skip ahead to get to the most interesting parts.
